Irreducibility of the Weyl algebra in loop quantum gravity

The irreducibility of the standard Weyl algebra representation in loop quantum gravity is proven using a very short and direct argument.     

The q-boson operator algebra and q-Hermite polynomials

The q-boson algebra is defined as an associative algebra with generators and relations. Some examples are given, and then the q-boson algebra is extended such that the roots of the diagonal generators are also defined. It is shown that a family of transformations exist mapping one set of standard generators of the q-boson algebra to another set of standard generators. Using such a transformation, one obtains expressions for q-bosons for which the kth q-boson state is expressed in terms of a q-Hermite polynomial p _k (x; q) which reduces to the ordinary Hermite polynomial of degree k when q=1.     

The Weyl representation in classical and quantum mechanics

The position representation of the evolution operator in quantum mechanics is analogous to the generating function formalism of classical mechanics. Similarly, the Weyl representation is connected to new generating functions described by chords and centres in phase space. Both classical and quantal theories relie on the group of translations and reflections through a point in phase space. The composition of small time evolutions leads to new versions of the classical variational principle and to path integrals in quantum mechanics. The strong resemblance between the two theories allows a clear derivation of the semiclassical limit in which observables evolve classically in the Weyl representation. The restriction of the motion to the energy shell in classical mechanics is the basis for a full review of the semiclassical Wigner function and the theory of scars of periodic orbits. By embedding the theory of scars in a fully uniform approximation, it is shown that the region in which the scar contribution is oscillatory is separated from a decaying region by a caustic that touches the shell along the periodic orbit and widens quadratically within the energy shell.     

The strong topology on the algebra of polynomials

It is shown that under a quite general condition on the operator T (unbounded, symmetric) and on the domain $\text{D}$ for the representation x → T of the algebra $\text{P}$(x) on $\text{D}$ in $\text{P}$(T) the strongest locally convex topology τ_∞ coincides with the strong topology σ^$\text{D}$.     

The two-dimensional quantum Euclidean algebra

The algebra dual to Woronowicz's deformation of the two-dimensional Euclidean group is constructed. The same algebra is obtained from SU _q (2) via contraction on both the group and algebra levels.     

Quasi-equivalence of quasi-free states on the Weyl algebra

A necessary and sufficient condition for quasi-equivalence of quasi-free factor states over the Weyl algebra is proved. The essential part of this paper is closely related to the work of Powers and Størmer on the Clifford algebra.Aspirant van het Belgisch N. F. W. O. On leave from the University of Louvain (Belgium).     

Real forms of the oscillator quantum algebra and its representations

We consider the conditions under which the q-oscillator algebra becomes a Hopf *-algebra. In particular, we show that there are at least two real forms associated with the algebra. Furthermore, through the representations, it is shown that they are related to su _q1/2(2) with different conjugations.     

On higher-order coherent states of the Weyl algebra

It is shown that for classical, analytical states of the Weyl algebra, the quantum optical coherence condition of second order implies those of nth order for all n2.     

Colored extension of GL q(2) and its dual algebra

We address the problem of duality between the colored extension of the quantized algebra of functions on a group and that of its quantized universal enveloping algebra, i.e., its dual. In particular, we derive explicitly the algebra dual to the colored extension of GL _q(2) using the colored RLL relations and exhibit its Hopf structure. This leads to a colored generalization of the R-matrix procedure to construct a bicovariant differential calculus on the colored version of GL _q(2). In addition, we also propose a colored generalization of the geometric approach to quantum group duality given by Sudbery and Dobrev.     

Unitary equivalence of Fock representations on the Weyl algebra

A necessary and sufficient condition for unitary equivalence of pure quasifree states over the Weyl algebra is proved. Some partial results on states over the Weyl algebra are formulated in Theorem 1, and Lemmas 1, 4, 5 and 6.

Automorphisms of the q-oscillator algebra and basic orthogonal polynomials

Certain automorphisms of the quantum oscillator algebra are shown to provide an algebraic interpretation for q-generalizations of the Charlier polynomials.     

Differential algebra of quantum fermions

Lie coalgebra equips an exterior algebra (algebra of fermions) with a structure of a differential algebra. In similar way we equip an algebra of quantum fermions (quantized exterior algebra) with a structure of a differential algebra. This leads to a notion of a variety of Lie coalgebras for a Hecke braid. This approach is different from that of Gurevich (1988 and 1993), Woronowicz (1989) and of Majid (1993).     

The cohomology of the classical and quantum Weyl CCR in curved spaces

An analysis is presented of the cohomological underpinnings for the Weyl group of the canonical commutation relations on manifolds of constant negative curvature. Several uniqueness results are obtained leading from purely classical considerations to the group associated with the systems of imprimitivity of the orthodox approach to quantum mechanics.     

The uniform and the strong topology on realizations of the algebra of polynomials

It is shown that under quite general assumptions on the operators A₁,…,A_n (unbounded, symmetric) and on the domain $\text{D}$ on the realization $\text{P}\text{(A}{}_1\text{,…,A}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{)}$ of the algebra of polynomials $\text{P}\text{(x}{}_1\text{,…,x}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{)}$, the strongest locally convex topology τ_st coincides with the uniform topology τ_$\text{D}$ as well as with the strong operator topology τ_s. In the case n = 2 some conditions are given, under which these general assumptions are fulfilled.     

The two-dimensional Euclidean quantum algebra at roots of unity

The two-dimensional Euclidean quantum algebra is considered at roots of unity. The algebraic properties and the Poisson-Hopf structure are first investigated. We then determine the irreducible representations and study the reduction of the tensor product of two of them.     

The unitary irreducible representations of the quantum heisenberg algebra

The goal of this work is to describe the irreducible representations of the quantum Heisenberg algebra and the unitary irreducible representation of one of its real forms. The solution of this problem is obtained through the investigation of theleft spectrum of the quantum Heisenberg algebra using the result about spectra of generic algebras of skew differential operators (cf. [R]).
